Mill Hill, Trenton

Mill Hill is a historic neighborhood located within the city of Trenton in Mercer County, New Jersey. It was named for a wooden mill built by Quaker settler Mahlon Stacy, who arrived in North America in 1678. It was the site of the Battle of Trenton, and it was annexed to Trenton in 1851. It grew rapidly during the 19th century as Trenton industrialized, and, by 1920, 52% of its population consisted of immigrants. During the Great Depression, Trenton began to decline, but Mill Hill was revitalized after the early 1980s.
